The academic unit I work for wants to abandon the one subdisciplinary area that attracts the most majors. We also want to increase the number of majors by more than 200%. What is wrong with this picture??
In other news - we went shopping, B and I. I don't always love clothes-shopping; in fact, most times I hate it. But today! He bought some interim pants (they'll probably fit for a week or two, a week or two from now) and I bought more than I've ever bought in a single trip - a regular back-to-school spree! The sales clerks were friendly and helpful - and oh retailers, listen up: that really makes a difference. I wouldn't have bought half as much without them finding matches and sizes and accessories for me. They were really fun.
Tomorrow - St. Paul Saints baseball. And I have to finish this damned syllabus project. But I don't have to physically go to work - so that's a plus. If I lack blog subjects (syllabi being not-that-interesting), I'll tell you all about Thing Theory.
